Deputies are investigating a social media post referencing Gulf Coast High School and Palmetto Ridge High School that is "causing concern," a Collier County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said Wednesday.

"We are actively investigating this post and working to identify its source," Kristine Gill, a spokeswoman, said in an email.

Turchetta urged anyone who sees something online to report it and not to spread it.

"We want parents to share accurate information," he said in an email. "Today there was a lot of inaccurate information spread on social media that caused additional student, and parent concerns at Palmetto Ridge and Gulf Coast High Schools."

Lisa Meszaros, a parent of triplets who are in 11th grade at Palmetto Ridge High School, said she picked up her children Wednesday morning.

She said her kids were texting her about posts that were made on social media and were worried.

Meszaros said she called the school to find out what was going on and was told the school is aware of the situation and was investigating, but that classes were functioning as normal. She said she was told she could pick up her children if she wanted to.

"Parents lined up out the door" when she arrived at the school Wednesday morning to pick up her children, Meszaros said. "And kids leaving in their own cars."

A Collier County Public School student who wrote a hit list, shooting plan and suicide note has been removed from his school and is under law enforcement supervision, according to a joint statement released by the school district and the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.
